Regarding the creation of documents during all of the stages of an audiovisual production, what do you think are the biggest difficulties faced?

• When it comes to making a Direction Proposal or a Direction Dossier for a client, it is difficult to have a format that everyone understands. I have always looked for a way to standardize these types of documents. And also when making budgets, the items on fees are still not clear given that they are not standardized and we depend on the client's budget.

• Within the Production Coordination, which is the department in which I have worked, one of the difficulties is the legal ignorance (not knowing precisely what things to add and what not, how can the Producer be shielded from future problems without harming the contractor since the beginning). Another is the adaptability of contractors to adapt to the formats of the production company in which they are located; each one tries to do things in their own way, generating disorder at times. Another is to create more documents than what are necessary rather than make a more extensive use of each format.
